Call of Duty: Mobile was announced in March 2019, with publisher Activision announcing that it would like to develop more smartphone games in future.

It is being developed by Tencent studio Timi, which has experience in creating multiplayer online games for mobile platforms.

At
present, all announced modes are player-versus-player (PVP). However,
Activision has revealed that the game will not not be exclusively
multiplayer, with additional modes of play to be announced at a later
date.

We do know though that the majority of play will be on maps
and with characters and weapons that have appeared in multiple Call of
Duty titles over the years, including the Modern Warfare and Black Ops
series.

When will Call of Duty: Mobile be available?

A closed beta test of COD: Mobile is currently underway in India. Activision plans for another test in Australia to start soon.

Beta
sessions in other regions are likely, but it shouldn't be too long
before the full release will be available anyway. The publisher quoted
"summer" for global release when it was first announced, but now says
that it will be available in the "coming months".

How much will it cost?

Call of Duty: Mobile will be free-to-play with in-app purchases for in-game items.

We don't yet know what will be available to purchase with real cash, but will keep you informed as more is revealed.

What gameplay modes will be available?

The first set of gameplay modes, as available in the beta test version, are all multiplayer and are fan favourites.

You
will be able to pick between three types of match: normal, ranked or
private, depending on the other players you wish to face off against.
Ranked matches will reward XP and other items).

The gameplay modes to be announced so far are Free-For-All, Frontline, Hardpoint, Domination and, of course, Team Deathmatch.

All
are team-based, with two competing teams of five players, bar
Free-For-All which is, as the name suggests, every player fighting for
him or herself. This latter mode allows for a maximum of eight players
in one match.

More modes will be announced in time. We're hoping that includes a rumoured Battle Royale mode, similar to PUBG or Fortnite.

What maps will be available in Call of Duty: Mobile?

Some of the best-loved multiplayer maps from the COD series will be available in Call of Duty: Mobile.

These include Nuketown from Black Ops, Crash from the Modern Warfare series, and Hijacked from Black Ops 2.

More are being announced all the while, with a further seven being revealed on 16 May.
Also from Modern Warfare, you will be able to play on Crossfire and
Killhouse. The reworked Firing Range from Black Ops 4 will be available.
And, Standoff from Black Ops 2 is on the list.

All of these maps are true fan faves.

Can I play as different Call of Duty characters in the mobile game?

Characters
from across the COD games will be available to play as, with
customisation of loadouts, headgear, backpacks and clothing possible.

Activision
has so far announced that Alex Mason and David "Section" Mason, from
the Black Ops series, will both be available. Modern Warfare fans might
want to play as John "Soap" McTavish, Simon "Ghost" Riley or John Price.
While a Call of Duty: Ghosts character also returns, in the guise of
Thomas A. Merrick.

More will be revealed in time.

Will there be Scorestreaks and loadouts?

As with all recent Call of Duty games, there will be Scorestreaks and loadouts in Call of Duty: Mobile.

Scorestreaks
are unlockable (through XP) accessories you can use at points in your
matches. Up to three can be assigned to your character before you enter a
match.

A pre-match loadout menu will also be available for you to change what weapons to assign to your character before battles.

Weapons
themselves can also be customised - aesthetically through skins or with
attachments that will alter their in-game properties.

You will be
able to take primary and secondary weapons into a match, plus a grenade
(explosive or tactical), plus a weapon skill between the (currently
announced) following: Purifier (flamethrower), War Machine (grenade
launcher), Death Machine (minigun), Transform Shield (deformable
shield), Sparrow (bow), and Tempest (electrical bolt rifle).

Perks
can also be assigned, each of which offering different abilities,
including Fast Recover to improve health regeneration speeds, and Demo
Expert to improve your explosives damage. Up to three of those can be
assigned too.

There will be five loadout slots per character, so you can chop and change them without needing to fill them in each time.
